If its on the stands or a lift you dont need to drive it to get 104F.

Once refilled, I just jump in the driver seat and carefully engage drive and reverse to purge the air. Then I will carefully run it through M1 thru M6 at light throttle. Then park, reverse, drive then park. I use the brakes to simulate a load while going up through M1-M6. Be sure and stop the wheels before selecting drive or reverse.

By then I will check the temp and it will be 90 plus degrees. I just leave it idle in park, unit it hits 100F. Then I pull the overflow plug and watch for fluid to come out - as the oil temp increases. Once it hits 104-105 I plug the overflow port.

Lower the car and go test drive it.
